Flash! Incredible newly Kindleized backlist titles

These are coming from the Wylie Agency, which is a literary agency, in a special unified look series called Odyssey Editions.

These titles are EXCLUSIVE to the Kindle store…take that, iBooks, Borders, and B&N! 😉

I was really pleased to see that they haven’t blocked the text-to-speech!

Are these important books?

Yes!

Especially the Rabbit books from John Updike, but that’s certainly not all. Lolita, Brideshead Revisited, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Portnoy’s Complaint, Love Medicine…these are exclusive in e-book to the Kindle store!

These are all $9.99 right now, but some others from this publisher (not part of this special series) can be more expensive…I wouldn’t be surprised if these go up in price later, but that’s just speculation.

1. They’ll be available in Europe shortly. That one assumes that Wylie got worldwide rights (it could just be European and US, but I’m thinking worldwide). It can take a couple of days for books to appear for different countries in the Kindle store.

2. Wylie only negotiated US rights. Traditionally, rights are sold separately for each jurisdiction. However, I do think worldwide rights are becoming more common.

I’d suggest you check again in…oh, five days or so. I’d appreciate you letting me know if they become available.
